The four-day Queen’s Diamond Jubilee in London, celebrating 60 years on the throne for Queen Elizabeth II, attracted millions into town and millions more on television for a variety of spectacles and events. Some aspects were a bit more interesting than others.

Standing in the Rain for Four Hours

Britain's Queen Elizabeth speaks to her husband Prince Philip on the Spirit of Chartwell during the Diamond Jubilee River Pageant on the River Thames.

In what may have helped send Prince Phillip, 90, to a London hospital with a bladder infection the following day, the Queen and her husband stood in 40-degree temperatures and a steady downpour for four hours during Sunday’s Thames River Pageant. During the event, 1,000 boats floated by the royal couple at about 4 knots per hour, while wind and rain pelted the pair. And they didn’t even take a seat, let alone a restroom break.
